Sudden hearing loss in right ear upon awakening accompained by vertigo and nausea....Saw ENT Dr. and placed on prednisone regimine..had MRI which was negative...have taken 8 days of Prednisone and have 5 more days left.....Nausea gone and only occasional vertigo......also had hearing test which showed significant loss....
I had shingles approximately 21/2 months ago....so I am wondering about the association between the two.....
I am very concerned about what degree of hearing I can expect to return if any.....

Prognosis looks good from everything I've read--it may take awhile but most of your hearing should return. Could find how long it will take, but yes it can be related to viral infections such as herpes zoster (shingles). Good Luck ;)
